For board member Helen Davis Frazier, the issue is a personal one. Frazier worked at several of the district’s alternative reform programs as a guidance counselor and parent coordinator for more than two decades, where she saw firsthand how troubled students were removed from their home schools with the hopes of improving their behavior at a space specifically designed for those who have faced repeated disciplinary sanctions. But during her time with the district, Frazier recalls never seeing more than two White students enrolled at these alternative programs each year. “I have a history there of witnessing firsthand how the district has unjustifiably allowed a system to perpetuate the pipeline to prison,” she said. “During my tenure, all of those programs were persistently and predominantly a holding cell for African American students.”
